Beware! The night is dark and full of terrors, and this review will possess’own’nurse spoilers. Which could be a scarier prospect.###If you need a briefing in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this season, DO NOT READ ON. But go here instead.###This week: Sea individual .###While we must admit we're not thrilled to see the return of Ellaria Sand and the Dorne gang, they're part of the most visually rich part of the episode at the end. But let's kick off at the beginning, where Dany and Tyrion are discussing tactics and allies. In fact, there are a lot of scenes of individual discussing who and what they need to win this conflict. It could possess’own’nurse turned into a dry discussion of in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ces and castles, but given how the stakes possess’own’nurse been raised and who – Tyrion, Jon etc. – are having the discussions, it's actually compelling. One of the more pleasing aspects is the fact that at least one of the war councils is almost entirely made up of women.###Dany's scene with Varys is also fascinating, since we know the man's history with betrayal… And so does she. Little Birds coming home to roost, individual . Quite why she would trust him, even with Tyrion's blessing, is a tad suspect, but when you possess’own’nurse dragons backing you up (who we assume were sheltering from the driving rain), you can afin/with regard to’concerning’regarding d to extend a little trust.###That said… Melisandre? Really? REALLY? Smoke demon birthing lady? The woman who motivate’fuel d someone to set their daughter on fire? While it's rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent to see Carice van Houten back, her character has been trouble bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e and will be trouble again.###At Winterfell, Liam Cunningham got the usual assortment of rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent lines as Davos as Jon and Sansa read Dany's communication with regards to’concerning’with respect to a meeting. Jon doesn't seem to be the most likely ally, but as we see later, Dany's certainly going to need him. And she's got not merely’barely the Dragonfire, but, as Snow has now learned, copious supplies of Dragonglass.###As in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Cersei, she's attempting to marshal her own in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ces, spreading fake news with regards to’concerning’with respect to Dany's plans. That said, there's an interesting angle to be found here, that the Mother Of Dragons' seemingly heroic actions can be spun any number of ways. She's undergo d it directly herself and here Cersei uses it to her own ends, attempting to bring those who previously swore loyalty to House Tyrell to her side. Including Sam's dad! Makes you wonder whether he'll ever meet his father on the field of battle. Doubt it, but you never know.###Talking of Tarly Jr., he's got his own problem to solve. Without poop duty this week, he's focusing on somehow curing Jorah Mormont whose father – surprise! – he knew at Castle Black. A shade convenient, that, but we'll allow it. If he ends up somehow befriending Lyanna, then we'll cry foul. The scene later of Sam trying to scrape the infected skin from Jorah's body was a cringe in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the ages, and not in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the faint of heart.###And how do you solve a problem like Daenerys? Or, more specifically, her dragons? Qyburn (Anton Lesser) claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate s he's found a way: a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous giant crossbow. Clearly someone has watched The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies.###In a couple of pleasing breaks from either war chat or battles, we eventually’ultimately see Missandei and Grey Worm acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting close. We're fairly sure the shippers were out in in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ce in/with regard to’concerning’regarding their tender , sweet sex scene.###Much less sexy, but no less warm, was Arya's reunion with the one, the merely’barely Hot Pie! (Ben Hawkey). It was a tiny moment amid enormous’vast’massive’tremendous decisions, but it was a key one in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Arya, who learned that Jon is alive and now the King in the North. We'd say that it'll be refreshing to see all the surviving Starks toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her in Winterfell, but Jon is already on his way to see Dany. D'oh! But on her way, we do also acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure that lovely reunion with Direwolf Nymeria. Even if the animal heading off with her new pack did make us claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate of this{:rel=nofollow}.###While there was a lot of talk this week, when the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue truly got back into action mode, it was devastating and deadly. Though the battle at sea may not quite possess’own’nurse been the scale equal of Blackwater Bay back in Season 2, it more than made up in/with regard to’concerning’regarding it with brutal intensity. Euron's fighting style is berserker-level fury and while the Sand Snakes put up a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent fight, they were no match in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a man who proves he's more than just a rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent talker. And poor Theon, who discovered that the scars of his past are not so easily in/with regard to’concerning’regarding gotten: when faced with real peril again, he leapt overboard. The effects work and the sheer commitment to the personal cost of the battle made it truly effective.###If last week was the pieces being put into position, this one represented a violent new gambit, with Dany's position now a lot less powerful than it was. Shifting the dynamics, even at this later stage, was a smart move, and opens up even more drama. Plus, the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue didn't skip some secondary characters, giving the likes of Sam some meaty material to chew on.###Highlight: Sea fight!###Lowlight: The grim moments of Sam trying to help Jorah. Sam really, really doesn't possess’own’nurse the best luck, does he?###Kill of the week: Sand Snakes, strike three.###Quote of the week: "I've outlived them all." – Olenna Tyrell, talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to "clever men".###MVP: Arya, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her wonderful moments with Nymeria and Hot Pie.###Random despite’in spite of’albeit t: Were women really impressed by King Robert's skull collection? Weird.###What has Hot Pie been up to all this time?###We figure training in/with regard to’concerning’regarding The Great British Bake-Off while honing his skills.###Is Euron's ultimate taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure Dany herself?###Could be: after all, she's Cersei's most dangerous enemy and if he could somehow acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure control of those dragons in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the woman he wants to marry… That's a gift and a half!###Does eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone in Dorne possess’own’nurse to use dreadful sex puns?###Appears that way. But Ellaria in peculiar won't possess’own’nurse many more chances, we fear.###—Season 7 Episode Review Guide###Episode 1 – Dragonstone###Game Of Thrones airs Sunday evenings on HBO in the States, with a simulcast on Sky Atlantic and Now TV in the early hours of Monday and a repeat Monday evenings at 9pm.
